The East Side Railroad.
EASTERN CAPITAL INTERESTED.

Ever since Senator Eugene Can
field came to Puget Sound from
Illinois, there has been developing a
railroad scheme to build line north
ward along the east side of the Sound
to connect the Northern through
Seattle and Whateom with the Cana
dian Pacific IN British Columbia.
All that has been done ia that direc-
ton has Just eliminated in the Or
ganization Of the Seattle & West
Coast Railway company. The OBJ
jects for which this corporation is
formed are: To construct and equip
a railroad and telegraph line from
Seattle, ". L, by the most practical
be route to a point on the northern
boundary line of the United States
ana British Columbia as may prove
the most convenient and practicable
to effect a conjunction with the Ca
nadian Pacific railway.
The capital stock of the corpora
ton will be $I,COlGJ0, divided into
10000 shares OF $IOO each. The du-
ration Of the corporation is fixed at
fifty years.
The trustees are Henry Crawford
and Henry Crawford, jr., OF Chicago,
H., Daniel H Gilman, Thos. Burke,
and Charles II. Shcafe, of Seattle.

Shot Her fradueer.

A very pathetic tragedy occurred
in st. Paul, Mimi, the other day.
The Seattle P.-L, introduces it as
follows after endorsing the action of
the poor, desperate, slandereG wo-
mn:
John Murphy, a villinous brute
siandered the virtue Of Mrs. Hegener,
a respectable lady of st. Paul, with
his vile insinuations, the black-heart-
el wretch cast a cloud upon her fair
uame- The poor, helpless woman,
whose lie and happiness depended
upon that good name, saw but one of
two ways for her to go; to live out
her life under that suspicion which
the tongue of SANDER had cast upon
her, OF to go straightway and kill her
traducer, then give her life to satisfy
the broken law. She chose the latter,
and thus acted wisely. For a pure
woman would choose life in prison
den rather than existance in that at
mcsphere of douut which has killed
outright so many noble women.
The st. Paul Pioneer-PreSs de-
scrlbes the affair as Tragedy with
a moral" and among many other
things says the following:
There are many absurd and over
wrought features about what ws are
accustomed to refer to as the 'chiv-
airy" of the south But it had this
redeemlng virtue; that tie fame of
women, unless she were publicly
proved shameless, was sacred. Net
only relative, but friend or a mere
acquaintance made the quarrel his;
and the man who dared reflect, ever
SO slightly, upon female virtue took
his life in his hand. If he sacrificed
It, the public held his slayer justified.
What else is society to do with the
pitiless vermin who make beast of
their real or imaginary cenouests? /?
Ii the miserable braggart is living.
death is not too heavy a punishment.
Even If he tells the truth, and if he
has triumphed by diIigent working
upon weakly affectionate nature,
his lips, above all others, should be
sealed before the Very seat of iudg-
ment. And. when we como to that
still more Infamous thing, the spread.
ing of obscene rumor to undermine
a home, the wilful purpose to drive an
honored and honorable wife from her
family into the brothel, yengence
cannot be too swift or deep. Beside
this, the business of the procurer
stands upon a pedestal of honor
As this woman tells her tale, Nemesis
never showed face more horribly
lneXorable than that which YVES
turned on her. To her was relegated
the defense Of her good name which
Should have come promptly from
other hands, armed with horgewhip
that should have left the villain
helpless for ''mashing" purposes all
the rest OF his days. The awful deed
was done, and it was done almost of
necessity. IF there be, as
there must be. other men
abandoned enough to tell in whispers
some uncertain story Of wornan's
shame, let him lay to heart the moral
of retribution.

RereiIe: \ big deal in real estate
has been quietly taking place in
Nhatcom this week, involving the
transfer Of at least three hundred
lots, together with a considerable
amount of outside property, TO
syndicate of eastern BUYERS. whose
representatives have been quietly
negotiating with the townsite pro
prietor5 during the past few days.
The object of the purchase, it is said,
is not for the purpose of speculation
but rather fer the purpose OF secur-
ing locations for those whe are com
ing to seek homes and engage in
industrial and commercial pursuits
in Whatcom. The Rcreiue does not
credit the report that the property is
being purchased in the interest of
the Canadian Pacific or any other
railroad interest. As further ne
gotiations for still larger purchase
are now pending and IN progress,
the ReUeiLEe withholds further COM
meht, but Will add that we expect to
make an announcement IN the near
future that will send real estate prices
up with bound never before dreamed
OF.

There is one torpedo tube through the bow,
another through the stern, and one on each
side, 50 her range commands all points of at
tack. She also carries 1 incI p hundred
weight certral pivoted breech loader, and her
makers claim that with this they can pene-
trate eight inches of the best armor

protect the gunners, and above the
bridge is an immense electric light. She
also carries six 3 FOUNDER Hotchkiss quick
firing guns. In addition TO all this, her speed
has been made to average nineteen knots over
a considerable run. So with armored sides,
pivot guns and torpedoes for defense and de
struction, electric light for hunting her pley
and proved capacity to cross the ocean
almost as quickly as the fastest steamships,
the Rattlesuake seems to realize the widest
dreams of destructive power. This is only
the first of a class to be constructed by the
Lairds, and with the possibility of half
dozen of these monsters being within easy
reach of New York harbor our own naval
may well feel called on to act
promptly.

Interstate Commerce.

Vigorous protests are being made
from the Pacific Coast against the
operations Of the new law regulating
railroad freights and fares. One dis
patch from San Francisco, received
by the commission last week, read as
follows:
'All productive and monetary rela-
tions of this coast are threatened with
disorder and much loss, and nothing
but quick and wise action On your
part can save our coast from the tre-
mendous losses soon to follow the
illiberal or narrow Interpretation Of
the fourth section Of the Interstate
bill. We ask the suspension of the
long haul clause temporarily, at least,
until our position can be placed be-
fore your honorable body"
This bears the signatures of the
eight principal banking institutions
of San Francisco.
Another dispatch reads as follows:
A rigid enforcement of the fourth
clause Of the Interstate commerce
bill Will work irreparable ruin to our
vineyards, fruits, and salmon inter
ests, and will divert the shipment of
teas from China and Japan to the
Suez canal route, and the coffees of
Central America to Europe 1t will
blight and destroy the Industries Of
this coast, which have involved a life
time of labor and saving to build, and
that which was intended by congress
as a boon to the people will prove an
irreparable calamity to the Pacific
slope unless early relief is granted.
We earnestly crave a prompt and lib
eral Interpretation of the fourth Sec
ton of the bill as a protection from
an impending disaster which, other-
wise, will be inevitable"
This was signed by W. T. Coleman
& Co. and others.
A resolution to the same general
effect from the wool growers of the
coast was also received

sequently discovered to be fraudulent,
the collectors signature having been
forged. The blank forms used were
genuine, and SUI posed to be part of
a lot stolen from the custom house in
1883. 1t is said that the forgery was
committed by a person who knew
that there was a break of about 100
numbers in the series recorded at
Port Townsend. and that he purposly
made up of intervening numbers. In
view of the fact that the collectors at
San Francisco, Portland and Astoria
have been advised not to accept as
genuine returned certificates bearing
any OF the numbers comprised within
ment does not feel called on to take
any action in the case beyond advis-
ing the prosecution of offenders

ing the past two years there has
been no increase in the business cor
responding with the development of
the country and its increased neces-
sites, but that on the contrary. the
service on various routes has been
curtailed, while others have been
abandoned altogether. In Southern
and Southeastern Oregon, in the
newer parts of Eastern Washington,
about Gray's Harbor, and elsewhere
the insufficiency of the mails is a
serious public hardship. In former
years the postal service was pioneer,
keeping pace always with the march
of settlement and growing with the
growth of new communities. And SO
it should be now. 1t is one thing TO
conduct the postal service with econ
omy and prudence and quite another
to limit expenses by negleeting im-
portant public interests. 1t should
be added that the local authorities
are in no wise responsible for the
conditions complained of. The fault
rests solely with the department.
